Overview
This section provides a short and straight to the point overview of the disease or symptom. The first sentence of the overview must contain the name of the disease.
Causes
Perinatal infection occurring in the 1st few days to 14 days occurs due to contact with the pathogens present in the cervico-vaginal canal during delivery. causes are
- Escherichia coli
- Group B beta haemolytic Streptococci
- Gonococci
- Listeria monocytogenes
- Bacteroides species
- Candida albicans
- Cytomegalo virus
- Herpes Simplex Virus Type-2
Perinatal infections that occurs late, usually 3 to 6 weeks after birth are caused by environmental pathogens. Causes are
- Klebsiella
- Aerobacter
- Proteus species
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Haemophilus influenzae
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Coxsackie B virus
- Candida albicans
- Echovirus
- Influenza virus

- O – other infections (see below)
- R – rubella
- C – cytomegalovirus
- H – herpes simplex virus-2 or neonatal herpes simplex
Other infections include:
- Parvovirus B19
- Coxsackievirus
- Chickenpox (caused by varicella zoster virus)
- Chlamydia infection
- HIV
- Human T-lymphotropic virus
- Syphilis

- Hepatitis B
Diagnosis
Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the diagnosis of [[disease name]] according the the [...] guidelines.
Treatment
Disease | Medical Therapy | Surgery | prevention |
---|---|---|---|
Toxoplasmosis | Mother: immediate administration of spiramycin
Fetus and Newborn: pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine, and folinic acid.[2] |
Avoid raw, undercooked, and cured meats avoid contact with cat litter
Wash hands frequently, especially after touching soil (e.g., during gardening). [2] | |
Rubella | Intrauterine rubella infection > 16 weeks: reassurance
Congenital rubella syndrome: supportive care and surveillance |
Immunization of seronegative women before pregnancy
Nationally notifiable condition: Suspected congenital rubella syndrome must be reported to the local or state health department.[3] | |
Cytomegalovirus | Fetus: Severe anemia: intrauterine blood transfusions and Thrombocytopenia: platelet transfusions
Newborn: Supportive therapy of symptoms,Ganciclovir, valganciclovir, or foscarnet Mother: valacyclovir. |
Frequent hand washing, Pregnant women with risk factors for TORCH infection should avoid potentially contaminated workplaces (e.g., schools, pediatric clinics) [4] | |
Herpesvirus | Acyclovir & Supportive care | only for herpes simplex [5] | Antiviral therapy (acyclovir) beginning at 36 weeks of gestation for individuals with a known history of HSV lesions
Cesarean section in women with active genital lesions or prodromal symptoms (e.g., burning pain).[6] |
Parvovirus | Intrauterine fetal blood transfusion in cases of severe fetal anemia | Hand hygiene (frequent hand washing),Pregnant women with risk factors for TORCH infection should avoid potentially contaminated workplaces (e.g., schools, pediatric clinics).[7] | |
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) | mother: As a result of the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) , the US Public Health Service[8] published recommendations for the use of ZDV or AZT to reduce the risk of HIV transmission from infected women to their infants. These recommendations are as follows:
*Antepartum: ZDV, 100 mg orally five times per day, starting at 14–34 weeks. *Intrapartum: ZDV, 2 mg/kg intravenously (IV), loading dose, given over 1 hour, followed by 1 mg/kg/hr IV until delivery. Newborn: ZDV syrup 2 mg/kg orally every 6 hours, beginning 8–12 hours after birth for the first 6 weeks of life |
Vertical transmission reduced to 2% if a scheduled cesarean section is performed. It is not yet known if there is a significant benefit from cesarean delivery in patients who have viral loads of less than 1000 copies/ml who are on HAART. Maternal morbidity is greater with cesarean delivery, particularly in those women with low CD4 cell counts. Therefore, women who are HIV positive must be counseled about the maternal risks and potential benefits of both ZDV prophylaxis and cesarean delivery so that they can make informed choices. If cesarean delivery is chosen, it should be performed electively at 38 weeks of gestation. ZDV should begin 3 hours prior to delivery. It is important to use perioperative prophylactic antibiotics to reduce maternal infectious morbidity. The management of labor (if the patient chooses this option) should include avoidance of scalp electrodes and scalp sampling.[9] ,[10] | The newborn should be carefully cleaned of maternal blood and secretions. There is no evidence that the postpartum course is altered. The virus has been isolated from breast milk, and although the risk of transfer is not known, breastfeeding is not recommended when there is a suitable alternative, as exists in the developed world. A final step in the case of the HIV-infected patient is to see that the patient receives ongoing care. Even if she is asymptomatic after delivery, she will require support and surveillance for disease progression.[11] ,[12] |
Varicella zoster virus | pregnant women or newborns with (severe) infection: acyclovir
Administer postexposure prophylaxis in newborns if mother displays symptoms of varicella < 5 days before delivery: IgG antibodies (varicella-zoster immune globulin, VZIG) |
Immunization of seronegative women before pregnancy
VZIG in pregnant women without immunity within 10 days of exposure.[13] | |
Hepatitis | Hepatitis A:pregnant or not, who is exposed by contact or travel in endemic areas should receive immune serum globulin (0.02–0.05 mL/kg). If exposure is prolonged and close, the higher dose should be used and repeated every 4–6 months. [14] Hepatitis B: infants born to mothers with circulating HBV. These infants, if chronically infected, are at high long-term risk for hepatic cancer. Because of this and because it is possible to prevent perinatal transmission, particularly if infection occurs in late pregnancy, testing for HBV surface antigen is recommended as a part of routine prenatal testing. [15]. Infants born to HBV-positive mothers should receive 0.5 mL of hepatitis B immune globulin within 12 hours of birth and simultaneously receive the first dose of HBV vaccine (half the adult dose). The remaining doses should follow the adult schedule. There is no reason to modify the obstetric management because cesarean delivery will not modify the risk. The HBV vaccine now in use is a recombinant product, poses no infectious risk, and can be used in pregnancy for women at risk. Complete immunization requires the initial dose with repeated doses at 1 and 6 months. Healthcare workers should know their HBV immune status and, if susceptible, should be vaccinated. Hepatitis C: At present, no vaccine is available for HCV, and there are insufficient data to recommend pregnancy termination. The management of the pregnant woman infected with HCV must be individualized until further evidence is available to make reasonable recommendations.[16] | ||
Influenza | Prompt empiric treatment with appropriate neuraminidase inhibitors (oseltamivir and zanamivir) appeared to decrease the risk of severe disease. [17] | Preterm delivery and cesarean delivery were commonly associated with maternal illness with preterm birth rates as high as 30% and cesarean section rates of nearly double the current national baseline.[18] | Influenza vaccination is now an important component of antenatal care. The CDC recommends that women who will be pregnant during the flu season (October through mid May) be vaccinated. [19] Vaccination may be performed in all three trimesters. Specific vaccines prepared for epidemic strains are more effective than the poly antigenic preparations. Complications of vaccination are generally mild, except for Guillain-Barré syndrome. This is characterized by progressive ascending paralysis but fortunately is usually self-limited and reversible. Evidence from the swine flu epidemic of 1976 suggests that the incidence is approximately 1 in 100,000 vaccinations. The frequency of complications does not appear to be altered by pregnancy. The theoretical risks of vaccination are outweighed by its benefits. |
Genital condylomata | The treatment of choice for large-volume and symptomatic disease is the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, [20] and it is suggested that treatment with it be carried out in the third trimester to reduce the chances of recurrence from latent HPV infection at the time of delivery. Interferons have been used successfully [21] but are not yet approved for clinical use.Trichloroacetic acid is the best choice for isolated or small-volume genital disease.[22] | There is almost never a reason to perform a cesarean section for condylomata if the patient is seen sufficiently early in pregnancy to accomplish treatment. | |
Group B streptococci | As stated earlier, penicillin is the drug of choice for GBS treatment and prophylaxis. Ampicillin is an acceptable alternative. Penicillin is preferred due to its narrow spectrum of activity. Five million units of penicillin G is given as the loading dose. This is followed with 2.5–3.0 million units every 4 hours until delivery. The dose of ampicillin is 2 g loading followed by 1 g every 4 hours. Increased resistance of GBS isolates to second-line therapies has been noted. Susceptibility testing should be ordered in patients who are allergic to penicillin. Cefazolin is recommended for patients that are not at high risk for anaphylaxis. Two grams are given intravenously followed by 1 g every 8 hours. If the patient is a high risk of anaphylaxis, treatment would depend on the susceptibility of the isolate. Clindamycin (900 mg IV every 8 hours). Erythromycin is no longer an acceptable alternative for penicillin allergic women at high risk for anaphylaxis. Patients at high risk of anaphylaxis with unknown susceptibility or resistance to clindamycin, should be treated with vancomycin. The dose of vancomycin is 1 g every 12 hours until delivery. It must be emphasized that vancomycin is reserved for patients at high risk for anaphylaxis.[23] | Women with intact membranes who present with threatened preterm delivery and unknown GBS status should receive IAP until GBS culture results are available. If GBS is negative, or the patient is not in true labor, IAP may be discontinued and re-screening should be done at 35–37 weeks.[24] | |
Listeriosis | IV ampicillin and gentamicin (for both mother and newborn) | *Avoidance of soft cheeses
| |
Tuberculosis | * recent converters should be treated with isoniazid, 300 mg/day, starting after the first trimester and continuing for 6–9 months. Women younger than 35 years of age with a positive PPD of unknown duration should receive isoniazid, 300 mg/day, for 6 months after delivery.
|
Prophylaxis is not recommended for women older than 35 years of age in the absence of active disease because of concern about hepatotoxicity. | |
Syphilis | Therapy is indicated in the gravida with a positive FTA-ABS of recent onset, and the drug of choice is penicillin. [27] The regimen recommended is the same as in the nonpregnant woman. For early syphilis, a single dose of 2.4 million units of benzathine penicillin G is recommended. Some recommend a follow-up dose 1 week later, particularly in the third trimester. For late-stage syphilis (more than 1 year of duration), three doses are recommended. For the patient allergic to penicillin, treatment with penicillin after oral desensitization is recommended. This should be done in a facility that has appropriate provisions for resuscitation, if needed. [28] | *Maternal screening in early pregnancy
| |
Gonorrhea | current recommendations include one of the following regimens:
In addition, treatment for Chlamydia should be administered because of the likelihood of coinfection. [30] Disseminated infection in the newborn requires high-dose treatment, and ophthalmic infection should be treated both locally and systemically. |
Prevention of perinatal infection is best accomplished by careful maternal screening and treatment.[31] | |
Mycoplasmas | The treatment for the pregnant woman and the neonate is clindamycin for Mycoplasma hominis and erythromycin for M. pneumoniae and Ureaplasma urealyticum.[32] | These associations have not been conclusively established, and, consequently, treatment should be used only if there is reasonable evidence for causality in a given situation.[33] | |
Chlamydia | Recommended treatment for pregnancy includes the following:[34]
Erythromycin base, 500 mg, or erythromycin ethylsuccinate, 800 mg orally four times daily for 7 days Amoxicillin, 500 mg orally three times daily for 7 days Azithromycin, 1 g orally as a single dose |
The question of maternal screening and prophylactic treatment to prevent neonatal infection is unsettled. As diagnostic studies have become more readily available, screening has become more practical. The decision to routinely screen a prenatal population should probably be based on a determination of the specific population prevalence.[35] | |
Salmonella | Treatment is chloramphenicol, despite the existence of some resistant strains. Alternate antibiotics are ampicillin or amoxicillin (combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole is useful for resistant strains but avoided in pregnancy if possible). Aspirin should be avoided because patients with typhoid are extremely sensitive and severe hypothermia may result. [36] | Prevention is best accomplished by sanitation and hygienic processes and the control of faulty food processing. [37] | |
Trichomonas vaginalis | Because of evidence of a possible relationship between vaginal trichomoniasis and adverse pregnancy outcomes, metronidazole, 2 g orally as a single dose, can be given after the first trimester.[38] | ||
Malaria | Perhaps the most likely consideration is a pregnant woman who must travel to an endemic area. Chloroquine phosphate, 500 mg once a week starting 1 week before the trip and continuing for 6 weeks after, is the recommendation. This can be safely given to pregnant women. [39] | ||
Zika virus | *Avoidance of travel to ZIKv endemic areas during pregnancy.
|
Prevention
Minimizing the risk of transmitting a maternal infection to a fetus is often a major concern for parents. The first step is identifying possible maternal infections. Proper prenatal care in many cases allows for early diagnosis and thus early treatment of certain infections, thus improving the newborn's prognosis [41]
A woman's nutritional status may contribute to her ability to fight off infections, particularly in cases of malnutrition . A well-balanced diet rich in nutrients such as folic acid , calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin D, and the B vitamins is recommended for pregnant women. Mothers are recommended to eat approximately 300 additional calories day (above and beyond a normal non pregnancy diet) to support the fetus's growth and development [42]
